If I have not heard from Freshfields since I submitted application (no wg offer) is that a PFO?

@Jessica Booker Very few people on the forum who applied via the Direct TC route for Links have heard back. Does this mean anything?

I wouldn't expect it to mean anything in particular, unfortunately. It could be a whole host of reasons as to why this is the case.

Hi all,
was wondering whether anyone knew when Latham & Watkins new trainee intake start? Which month?

Yes, that's what the instructions sent out say. The written exercise as far as I can make out is an error spotting/redrafting exercise.
